Le ribelli che stanno cambiando il mondo

The award-winning journalist Rula Jebreal returns with a book about the role played by women in representing the hope of a better world for our planet with ten stories of extraordinary women who act as a compass in a world where the temptation for authoritarianism is rising again with a vengeance and our rights are under attack.

From science to sport, from journalism to politics, these are ten unique, extraordinary stories of a group of great women: Audrey Tang, a hacker and the first ever trans prime minister in history; Ghada Oueiss, a journalist fighting against Saudi prince bin Salman; Sara Gama, the first woman of colour Vice-President of the Footballers’ Association; Elena Cattaneo, a scientist and progressive senator; Chekeba Hachemi, an activist who has always helped Afghan girls and young women; Dominique Crenn, Michelin star chef and creator of an ethical and sustainable cuisine; Olga Tokariuk, a journalist on the Ukrainian front; Rana Ayyub, undercover correspondent who threw light on the corruption and massacres perpetrated by the Indian government; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman to have ever been elected to the US Congress. Also, the author’s younger sister, marked by a violent fate, but whose strength has inspired those around her.
